Ultra low impedance transmission line tester

An ultra low impedance transmission line pulsing (TLP) technique is developed to characterize highly conductive ESD protection elements. It is shown that ultra low impedance TLP is superior to the traditional 50 /spl Omega/ TLP in getting stable I-V characteristics. Detection sensitivity of 10 m/spl Omega/ can be resolved.
